Barcelona Forward Pau Victor Seeks Summer Exit After Limited Game Time
Key Points
- Pau Victor wants to leave Barcelona this summer after just one season with the La Liga champions.
- The 23-year-old forward has made 27 appearances but has played only 362 minutes this term.
- Barcelona’s attacking depth, including Lamine Yamal and Raphinha, limits Victor’s prospects for next season.
- Victor has several offers from Spain and overseas, but Barcelona is not yet willing to sell him permanently.
Victor’s Discontent
According to reports, Barcelona forward “Pau Victor wants to leave the club this summer”, having spent just one season with the La Liga champions-elect. The 23-year-old versatile attacker has made 27 appearances in all competitions this term but has racked up a mere 362 minutes of action.
Sunday’s significant league outing was the 16th occasion when Victor was an unused substitute. Despite playing so little this season, there’s scope for Barcelona to bank a profit when they do decide to sell Victor. The Spaniard, who came through Girona’s academy, joined the club in a €2.5m deal from their Catalan neighbors.
Barcelona’s Attacking Depth
Barcelona’s scintillating frontline came to the fore once more, with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha continuing their majestic campaigns as they both found the back of the net in their 4-3 victory. Flick’s side increased their La Liga goal tally to 95, of which the sporadically used Victor has contributed just three.
Given the wealth of attacking talent at Flick’s disposal, including the previously mentioned Yamal and Raphinha, an increased role seems unlikely for Victor next season. Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski, Gavi, and Ansu Fati are also competing for minutes in the German’s front four.
Victor’s Future
Victor remains firmly on the periphery, and an early departure from Catalonia may better serve his interests long-term. SPORT reports that the versatile attacker has several offers from Spain and overseas, but Barcelona aren’t yet willing to part ways with the player permanently. If they do let Victor go this summer, interested parties would have to negotiate a loan deal with a purchase option.
